Düsseldorf is undoubtedly one of the pioneering projects in the field of EBM design in Poland. Established in 1989 in Katowice by vocalist Adam Białoń and keyboardist Adam Radecki, the band expressed their fascination with sound experiments in the style of early Kraftwerk, Cabaret Voltaire or Front 242. Creating music was just a starting point for them - then ideas of typically industrial happenings appeared , implemented in industrial facilities, where, in addition to the vocals and manifestos, machine music was planned to dominate, by "playing" it live, being one hundred percent of acoustic origin (ie gears, wheels and other mechanisms that emit sounds). In addition to the concerts, the group published leaflets, experimented with photography and recorded a lot of studio music, gradually departing from the original assumptions of primitive, spontaneous, industrial rhythm and sound. In 1993, the band's musicians suspended their activities to pursue other projects. After twenty years of break, however, Düsseldorf was resurrected.

The labeling of the group to EBM is an oversimplification - in the music of Düsseldorf you can find echoes of the new wave and primitive industrial, complemented by synthpunk rhythms inspired by Suicide, minimalist and aggressive beats associated with the work of DAF, marching and energy reminiscent of Laibach's achievements, noticeable in lyrics are ways in the spirit of Soft Cell, and all this is watered with punk motility. Düsseldorf is a synthesis and quintessence of what was most interesting in the post-industrial music of the 1980s.
